More Information
MuteStrip is an essential component for the damping of vibration in metal structures, and in decoupling building of stud-frames and flooring, joists to assist in decoupling the structure, an essential property of reducing structural-borne vibration and low-frequency noise through suspending the mass away.
MuteStrip is a visco-elastic material, and this means it is both a viscous material, part way between a solid and a liquid, and has elastic properties, meaning that it returns to its original form when stresses within its limits are applied, like pulling an elastic band, if you pull it too hard it will break.
It is also self-adhesive and will apply to an extensive range of building materials. This creates a great alternative for those who only need to apply small strips to certain areas to control vibration, instead of using Tecsound that comes in great sizes. MuteStrip will not falter under expected weights in most applications that are common in households and commercial properties, but with significant weights being applied that are not usually expected, then do let us know.
Information
- To decouple stud framing and floating floor constructions, essential for projects that require low-frequency or vibration control
- Apply to metal to reduce any form of ringing, or metallic like sound including forms of rattling
- Easy to cut and manage
- Visco-elastic material
- Self-adhesive strip that applied to both timber and metal
FAQs
MuteStrip can also be used to sound proof floors with space at a premium by separating the sub-floor from the joists, reducing impact and vibration travelling into the structure.

Installation Guide
Make sure to peel the paper covering off to expose the self-adhesive face, do not pull off the meshing on the reverse, this protects and holds the material together.
MuteStrip must be installed on to a clean surface, one that is debris and oil free to remain in place.
